Corrosion of Connectors
Two factors are associated with corrosion:
1. Atmospheric action
2. Galvanic action
For atmospheric action to result in corrosion, there must be moisture and oxygen.
Galvanic action results in corrosion when two dissimilar metals in the electrolytic series, for
example, aluminium and copper, are in physical contact. In this case, moisture acts as an
electrolyte.
In such an instance, the copper becomes a cathode and receives a positive charge; the
aluminium becomes the anode and receives a negative charge.
The resultant current flow attacks the aluminium leaving the copper unharmed.
Both factors described above are influenced by environmental conditions - the chemical attack of
airborne pollutants.
This occurs in rural areas to a lesser extent than in urban centres and more so in heavy industry
locations such as steelworks, chemical plants, refineries, etc.
The problem of the mechanical jointing of two dissimilar metals in physical contact with each
other, such as aluminium and copper, stems from their difference in electrical potential.
The column of metals listed here shows their relative positions in the Electrolytic Series, with the
more anodic metals in the higher positions and the more cathodic in the lower.
The extent, or severity, of the corrosive action is proportional to the distance of separation of the
metals in the list. i.e. the magnitude of the difference in electrolytic potential of the two metals,
aluminium and copper, is quite considerable.

Contact Sealants
Various sealant formulations have been developed to provide improved electrical and mechanical
performance as well as environmental protection to the contact area. The use of sealants is
recommended for aluminium to aluminium or aluminium to copper connections. Sealants are also
recommended for copper to copper joints which are subject to severe corrosive environments.
Non-gritted sealants are recommended for flat connections and as a groove sealant in bolted
connectors such as parallel groove clamps. Our gritted sealant is primarily used in compression
connectors. The sharp metallic grit particles provide multi-contact current carrying bridges
through remaining oxide films to ensure superior electrical conductivity.

ALMINOX
Recommended for aluminium to aluminium bolted or
compression connections. Alminox contains sharp,
conductive zinc granules suspended in a viscous petroleum
base. Under pressure these granules make high pressure
contact points with the parent metal to effect a sound
electrical connection, whilst the base material seals the joint
to prevent further corrosion. Catalogue number ALM325G,
supplied in 325g squeeze tubes.
ALV300
Recommended for all bolted connections, such as parallel
groove clamps, either aluminium to aluminium, or bi-metal
copper to aluminium. When applied immediately after
scratch brushing, ALV300 seals the exposed surface to
prevent re-oxidation and permanently excludes the future
ingress of air and moisture. ALV300 is extremely adhesive,
resistant to water and has high temperature resistance to
ensure continuous operation under all situations. Catalogue

number ALV300, supplied in 225g squeeze tubes.
Scratch Brushes
The use of a suitable scratch brush to remove any
existing oxide film, dirt or grease from the conductor
is essential to ensure a sound electrical connection.
Dulmison produces separate brushes for use on
aluminium and copper conductors to prevent
transference of metal particles.
White brush for use on aluminium. Black brush for use on copper.

The FOSC-OPGW is a single-ended closure system specially developed for use on the optical
grounding wires of overhead electrical power lines.
The closure is suitable for use above ground; it can be attached to high voltage towers, poles,
walls or other support structures. One model can be used to track and spur joint applications.
The FOSC-OPGW closure system has the following functions and features:
Single-ended design with valve
It permits the termination and sealing of:
OPGW (Optical Grounding Wire) cables
ADSS (All Dielectric Self Support) or conventional buried fibre optic cables
Cable seals are manufactured from heat-shrinkable material
Fibre Optic
Internal storage utilises FOSC splice trays which are hinged for access to any splice
without disturbing other trays
A galvanised steel mounting frame holds the thermoplastic dome and base and the
OPGW cable clamps
A pole mounting kit is included which allows the closure to be mounted on a traverse
strut of a high voltage tower without the need to drill holes in the metal construction
A stainless steel shot-gun protection enclosure is optionally available.

The DIS fitting has been designed for terminating insulated aerial service cables of either single,
webbed, 2, 3 or 4 core twisted or concentric neutral screened construction. The DIS fitting is
designed to terminate the service cable directly to the facia attachment on the house, without the
need for a separate insulator. There is no span limitation in normal urban usage of the DIS fitting.
DIS fittings are composed of two compoments, a galvanised, gritted and coated (black)
®
Heliformed fitting, and a non-conductive Neoprene Sheath. The neoprene sheath is wrapped
around the service cable prior to attachment of the Heliformed® fitting, to provide the double
insulating layer.
The DIS fitting provides excellent resistance to UV attack and corrosion, and has been designed
to operate in harsh operating environments, where temperature extremes, and vibration difficulties
are known to occur.

Limited Tension Deadends
Type NDE - Limited Tension - Copper & Aluminium Aerial Service Cables
Open Loop A
The NDE is a coated galvanised steel termination, suitable for application over Polyethylene or
Neoprene insulated, aluminium or copper conductors. The coated subsets of each Deadend leg
exert a low radial pressure that does not damage the insulation on the conductor.
Because of the number of variables associated with the rating strength of this type of fitting
(conductor size, number of cores, insulation thickness etc.), it is impractical to imply a rating as a
proportion of the UTS of the conductor. In many applications the strength of the fitting will exceed
the UTS of the conductor.

Armour Rods
Type AAR - Aluminium Alloy for AAC, AAAC and ACSR
Type CAR - Copper Alloy for Copper Conductors
Type SAR - Galvanised Steel for SC/GZ Conductors
Type LAR - Aluminium Clad Steel for SC/AC Conductors
Identification Tag
Application
Protection of conductors against bending & compressive stresses. Protection against abrasion &
arcing damage. Repair of conductors having no more than 20% of outer strands damaged or broken.
Guide to Usage
As the degree of protection in specific situations is affected by such factors as line design,
temperature, tension, exposure to wind flow, vibration history, etc., the following
recommendations are made:
(i) Armour Rods should be regarded as minimum protection for clamp style supports or
suspension arrangements.
(ii) They should be considered as mimimum protection on hand tied, pin type construction
Heliformed® Line Fittings
of span lengths greater than 90M in urban areas, having no history of vibration.
(iii) Armour Rods are not designed to act as vibration dampers. Their role is to provide
conductors with an extra degree of protection at support points. In areas where a
history of vibration is known, or where vibration is suspected, the supplementary use of
® ®
Type SVD Heliformed Spiral Vibration or Dogbone Dampers should be considered.
®
(iv) On pin type construction, the use of Helities are recommended as being superior to
usual armour-clamp arrangements.
®
(v) At suspension points Heliformed type HSU Suspension Units are recommended as
superior to usual armour-clamp arrangements.
Restorative Repair
Armour Rods may be used to restore full conductivity and strength to aluminium, ACSR and
copper conductors, where damage is outside of the support area and does not exceed 20% of the
outer strand layer. Dulmison should be consulted when damage is located at the point of support.
The conductor should be scratch brushed and greased prior to the application of Armour Rods
used for repair.
Tapping
Heliformed® Armour Rods may be used as tap armour to protect conductors from wear and flash-
over damage under hot line taps. Where tapping clamps are to be installed over the Armour Rods
a moisture inhibitor, e.g. Alminox, should be applied. The conductor should be scratch brushed
and greased prior to the application of Armour Rods used for tapping.

Line Guards
Type ALG - Aluminium Alloy for AAC, AAAC & ACSR Conductors
Type CLG - Copper Alloy for Copper Conductors
Identification Tag
Application
Line Guards may be regarded as a light duty version of the armour rod intended for protection of
conductors against abrasion and arc-over. They may also be used as patch rods to conductors
where damage has occured.
Compatibility
Suited to highly polluted areas and coastal locations when used with appropriate conductor.
Guide to Usage
As with Armour Rods, the degree of protection afforded conductors against abrasion and
arc-over is influenced by such factors as line design, temperature, tension, exposure to wind flow
and vibration etc. The following may be taken as a guide:
(i) Regard as a minimum protection for hand tied spans of less than 107m in urban areas
(iii) Line Guards are recommended where clamp type supports or suspensions are used or
®
where there are hand tied spans of 91m or more. In these situations Heliformed
Armour Rods are preferable.
Restorative Repair
Line Guards may be used to restore full conductivity and strength to aluminium, ACSR and
copper conductors, where damage is outside of the support area and does not exceed
10 - 15% of the outer strand layer. Dulmison should be consulted when damage is located at the
point of support. The conductor should be scratch brushed and greased prior
to the application of Line Guards used for repair.
Tapping
®
Heliformed Line Guards may be used as tap armour to protect conductors from wear and flash-
over damage under hot line taps. Where tapping clamps are to be installed over the Line Guards
a moisture inhibitor e.g. Alminox should be applied. The conductor should be scratch brushed
and greased prior to application of Line Guards used for tapping.

Application
Full Tension Splices have been designed for jointing ACSR. Two types of Full Tension Splices are
available -
Type FTS - Multi Piece Construction - designed to hold both the inner steel core of the
conductor, as well as the outer layers. This is of particular importance on conductors with
greased cores. Filler rods may be needed on 30/7 type conductors to bridge the gap between
the inner core and the outer strands, for attachment of the outer splice layer.
Type MSS - Multi Strand Construction - designed for installations on 3/4 or 4/3 type
conductors. The fitting is comprised of a mixture of galvanised steel and aluminium strands,
which typically match the number and strength of those used in the conductor.

wind turbulence for conductors between 4.4mm and 19.3mm OD.
Vibration control would be recommended in areas as follows:
• In Rural Areas
• Where are normally associated with top tie insulators
• Where spans exceed 107m and/or 15% tension 16oC
• As an important supplemental protection at deadends, also at Armour Rods, Helities®, Side
Ties and similar tangent support hardware
Materials
Spiral Vibration Dampers are made of solid, non-corrosive high impact strength UV resistant PVC
rod. Material withstands ambient temperatures in the range -40o to 70oC.
Heliformed® Line Fittings
Installation
Engineering calculations are unnecessary for placement. The Gripping Section should be installed
approximately 100mm to 120mm from Deadends, Armour Rods or other conductor hardware.
Generally, one Spiral Vibration Damper at each end of a span is adequate. However, for spans
exceeding 245 metres (800 feet), two Spiral Vibration Dampers at each end of the span are
recommended.

To secure HVABC conductors at strain or tension points, you must utilise two types of fittings to
secure both the Catenary, as well as the ABC bundle itself.
The Catenary is secured at a strain point using a standard Dulmison Heliformed® Catenary
Deadend of applicable size and type - refer table below.

The HVABC bundle assembly, must be secured to the catenary so it does not drift into the middle
of the span. This eliminates bird caging, or spreading of the cores.
Dulmison have developed a Heliformed® bundle restraint for this purpose, which is simple to apply
and is designed to avoid damage to the phase cores. The assembly is comprised of two
Heliformed® deadends, which interlock, to tie the catenary to the bundle. The deadend used to
retain the catenary, is designed to be applied over the Catenary deadend as above.

Suspension Clamp
The HVABC suspension clamp is suitable for use on metallic and non-metallic screened HVABC
cables, for voltages up to 22kV. It is designed to accommodate line deviations up to 45 degrees. It
can be used at both intermediate suspension locations, as well as a secondary means of
securing a bundle to the catenary at strain locations. If used in this manner, an IBHR bundle
restraint, as per the preceding page, is not required.

High Voltage ABC
At locations where joints of the catenary on HVABC cables are required, a Heliformed® Line
Splice or a Compression Midspan Joint can be used.
For details of Joints for connecting conductor cores, please refer to the Cable Accessories CD,
and the available range of Raychem Medium Voltage Joints and Heat Shrink sleeving, together
with the Utilux Catalogue for details of applicable compression connectors.

Stringing Hardware
The two most widely used Pole Brackets are - SB10312 and IBHPBV. These items are
manufactured from Galvanised Steel and can be either bolted or strapped to either concrete or
timber poles.
Both brackets incorporate a cylindrical mounting tube, complete with 3 hook mounting holes,
which are used for two purposes.
• The middle hole is used to locate and mount a suspension clamp.
• The outer two holes (each side) are used to locate and mount a string roller assembly -
Product No LSR23379, and to adjust its height whilst stringing.
Both the suspension clamp and stringing roller are attached to the tube, using Support Hooks -
Product No HB16200. These hooks are manufactured from galvanised steel, have a minimum
failing load of 12kN and are supplied with washers and nuts. The two outer hooks that locate the
stringing roller, are used to adjust its mounted height for stringing. This adjustment allows the
rollers to be located at a height that eliminates any necessity to lift either the conductor bundle or
catenary for attachment into the suspension clamp.
The SB10312 bracket is generally utilised at a point below the top of the pole, whereas the
IBHPBV is generally installed at the pole top. The IBHPBV bracket has the facility to mount an
insulator on its tope surface to support a bare conductor during retrofit work, so as customer
outages are minimised.

Stringing Roller
Type LSR23379
The LSR23379 stringing roller is a versatile, lightweight and safe product. It is suitable for use on
line deviations up to 45 degrees, and accommodates HVABC cables up to 185mm2 - 22kV.
The deep profile design of the rollers, ensure conductors do not stick or jam during stringing, and
the frame design ensures that the conductor is guided and retained at all times. Its wide entry
design allows for easy application of suspension clamps, and plenty of working space. Its
mounting on support hooks allows for vertical height adjustment, which eliminates the dangerous
practice of lifting conductors to secure in suspension clamps. With a weight of just 9kg, it is safe
for one person to handle.
The standard assembly is used in conjunction with support hooks and associated brackets at
suspension clamp locations, but with the addition of the Yoke Assembly - LSR23857, it can also
be attached to a hook bolt or bracket at the start of a stringing run, where a suspension point is
not required. This allows for the cable to be temporarily supported at termination or strain points,
until tensile loads are applied and strain clamps fitted.

Aircraft warning markers are most commonly utilised as a visual indicator of a power line,
adjacent to airports, across river crossings, and on mining sites. All markers are manufactured
from UV Stabilised homogenous materials (not coated). Markers are intended for use in
accordance with CAA, FAA and Standards Australia requirements. Markers are available in 4
colours, so as to ensure that a colour is selected that does not blend with adjacent or line of sight
countryside. These aircraft warning markers should not be installed on energised power lines
above 150kV, please consult Dulmison for more information.

General Recommendations:
Dogbone Dampers are designed to eliminate conductor
fatigue damage and line maintenance costs by effectively
diminishing aeolian vibration, thereby allowing increased
line tensions. The messenger cable and unique dogbone
shape of the masses are designed to achieve optimal
energy dissipation for minimal clamp movement. The
messenger cable and dogbone weights are matched to give additional resonant modes and wider
effective frequency response. The mechanical impedance of the damper is matched to the
conductor to optimise performance. The offset dogbone shaped masses introduces a torsional
mode of vibration damping not present in conventional Stockbridge type dampers.
The range of Dogbone Vibration Dampers is a development resulting from our extensive
experience and research in the field of conductor vibration control. The Dogbone concept is based
on the known and proven principles of the Stockbridge Damper but embodies improvements
which increase both power dissipation and range of frequency response beyond those of a
Stockbridge Damper. The performance of the Dogbone Damper has been further improved using
the latest CIGRE and IEEE recommended methods including I.S.W.R. Power Dissipation and
Mechanical Impedance Testing.
Placement:
Line Hardware
Due to the many parameters involved and the exhaustive tests conducted by Dulmison for
optimum damper placement and performance, it is recommended that Dulmison be consulted for
exact damper requirements.

Dulmison Spiral Vibration Dampers are designed for use on conductors and guy wires ranging
from 4.42mm to 19.30mm.They are designed to reduce aeolian vibration by acting as an
interference device for the aeolian vibration pattern, and are generally the most effective devices
for use on small diameter conductors and earthwires. Dulmison Spiral Vibration Dampers are
manufactured from UV stable, high impact PVC and are suitable for use in ambient temperatures
ranging from -40oC to 70oC. Further information is shown on page 7-30 of this catalogue.

Materials:
Spacer, body, keeper, and Posilok clamp fastener - high strength aluminium
alloy.
Clamp liner - an elastomer compound specially formulated for resistance to
ozone, ultraviolet, weathering, high and low temperature variations and
compression set. The conductor range and part number is moulded into the
inside of each liner.
Posilok Twin Spacer Dampers are available for conductor sizes ranging from
18mm to 35mm and for spacing ranging from 200mm to 520mm. Dulmison
Posilok Twin Spacers have been successfully used for over 25 years in
Australia, USA, UK and many other countries. Posilok Twin Spacers feature
an elastomer lined clamp that minimises damaging static compressive
stresses on the conductor while providing high slip strength. The clamp action
of the Posilok makes this spacer easy to use with the clamp being fastened
by the action of the locking pin. This method of clamping ensures that the
clamp is always properly fastened, with a controlled amount of force exerted
through the rubber onto the conductor.
General Recommendations:
Posilok Spacers are designed to maintain specified subconductor spacing. Furthermore they are
designed to withstand the forces and movements caused by transient conditions such as short
circuit differential icing and wind loading, without either causing damage to the subconductors or
sustaining damage themselves. Dulmison’s exclusive Posilok fastener maintains a clamping force,
independent of the installing lineman. The Posilok clamp design was developed specifically to
eliminate the variables involved with other types of fasteners. When properly installed it exerts a
positive vibration proof grip on the conductor. Correct installation is easily verified from the ground.
The Posilok spacer is flexible enough to allow some longitudinal movement between sub-
conductors, and yet rigid enough to restrain the subconductors under adverse conditions. They
provide a smooth, unitised construction which minimises corona and presents a low level of RIV.
The range of Posilok spacers are designed to accommodate all conductor sizes, all EHV voltages,
and all bundle configurations.
Vibration:
Although the elastomer cushioned housing is designed to minimise conductor damage, vibration
dampers must be used on lines subjected to aeolian vibration.

is designed to withstand the forces and movements caused by
transient conditions such as short circuit, differential icing and

wind loading, without either causing damage to the Spacer Damper
subconductors or sustaining damage themselves. The design
accommodates both longitudinal movement of the
subconductors, vertical sag differences, as well as
compressive and tensil forces. When the Spacer Damper
is installed in accordance with Dulmison’s recommendations
for subspan lengths, it constitutes a system which replaces
conventional spacers and vibration dampers. Spacer
Dampers will control both aeolian vibration and
subconductor oscillation to levels recognised as acceptable
within the industry and to the customers expressed needs.
Dulmison will tailor the recommendations to terrain and
design parameters.
Fault Currents:
All of Dulmison’s Spacer Dampers are designed for a minimum compressive withstand load
Line Hardware
Placement:
Due to the many factors involved in designing an effective spacer damper system, it is
recommended that Dulmison be consulted for specific recommendations on both the choice of
Spacer Dampers and placement.
Damping:
Spacer Dampers can accommodate torsional clamp arm movement of plus or minus 13 degrees,
conical clamp arm movement of plus or minus 8 degrees, and longitudinal movement of plus or
minus 38mm. These are possible because of the properties of our elastomeric damping elements.
There are two per arm, one on each side. They are especially compounded to give long life under
conditions of ozone, ultra violet light, anticipated temperature extremes, and continual conductor
motion. Their ability to dampen over many years has been well established throughout the world
in all types of climates.

Screw Anchors
Selection of Screw Anchors
The selection of the most appropriate Dulmison Screw Anchor for any particular application
should be done by comparing the holding capacity of the anchor with the maximum load in the
guy wire.
The maximum load in the guy is determined from the line design, the holding strength of the
anchor will depend on the soil classification and the size and installing torque for the anchor.
Care must be taken in the anchor selection, and the holding strength must be carefully compared
with the maximum guy load, as a poor choice may result in a failure of the anchor.
Soil Classification
The most important factor affecting the holding strength that can be achieved by a screw anchor
is the type of soil in which it is installed. The Soil Classification Table (see Page 13-3) has been
designed to assist in the identification of the soil. However, while a reasonable assessment of the
surface soil type, the holding strength of the anchor will depend on the soil at the depth to which
the anchor is driven. Often the soil is different at this level, as different soil strata may be
encountered in driving the anchor.
The best way to check the holding strength of the anchor is to do a proof loading (pull out) test on
each anchor installation, but this is not always possible nor economical.
Following extensive field trials, it has been established that there is good correlation between the
installation torque and the soil conditions. This means that the holding strength of the anchors can
be determined from the installation torque.
Tables on page 13-4 show the relationship between the holding strength and the torque applied
for several sizes of single and double flight anchors.
Of course the installation torque is only an indication of the soil conditions at the time of
installation. Care should therefore be taken when anchors are installed in hard dry ground that
may become water logged following rain.
Installation Techniques
The holding strength that can be achieved by an anchor can also be affected by installation
technique, and care must be taken by the operator that the soil is not churned by allowing the
anchor to act as an auger as it is installed. This is most easily avoided by keeping a downward
Screw Anchors
Load-Rating Factor
For some loading conditions, however, it may be desirable to use a load rating factor for the
holding strength of the anchor. When the continuous (everyday) tension in the guy exceeds 50%
of the maximum working tension of the guy, there is a possibility that the anchor may creep.
Even though there is no failure of the anchor in the ground, this may lead to relaxation of the guy,
and necessitate periodic retensioning. To avoid this, the load rating factor which is found from
Page 13-3 should be applied to the holding strength of the anchor.
